Lake Guery Located higher up in the mountains, Lake Guery was formed by a basalt river which cooled to form a damn. Its water is clear blue and is the home to trout as well as the fish of our lakes; l'ouble chevalier. Here you will also find the Centre of Flowers and Fauna of the Auvergne National Park which is also well worth a visit. There are also a number of quaint and interesting villages for you to discover..

Besse and St Anastaise

A medieval village located at an altitude of 1050m. There is a pretty church built with volcanic rock at the heart of the village and on Monday mornings (market day) you will lose yourself in the maze of little streets, whilst discovering the local products.

La Bourboule

A small thermal town with several old building and impressive architecture. It is a water town for two reasons; firstly for its thermal baths which are as revitalising as ever and secondly because of the Dordogne river which runs through the centre of the Bourboule and can be enjoyed from several pretty bridges over it.

Murol Dominated by an impressive castle which stands proud at the summit of a volcano, Murol has a number of small shops and restaurants which will give you the opportunity to savour the cultural and culinary delights of the local region.

Saint Nectaire Famed for its delicious cheese - you can learn about the history behind its production and buy it fresh from the farms! The town also has a thermal bath which (as dictated by French law) also permits it to have a casino. There is also a stunning Roman church which never fails to impress.
